Synopsis

It's been two months since Allegra walked out of Devlin's hotel room. Well, two months and five days, but she's not counting. She needs to move on, but before she can, Devlin shows up again...as her new coworker.

Seeing him at work every day is enough to make her lose her mind. Allegra tries to stay away from Devlin, knowing the effect he has on her, but she can't. The more she's around him, the more she's tempted to have something more with him. After everything that's happened in the past, it's a slippery slope that may land her in a place she never wants to revisit. Something is happening to her heart, though. A longing is building up that isn't one-sided...and doesn't feel temporary.

He wants her. She wants a forever. Is it possible to have it all?

*Longing is a full-length erotica novel, and the sequel to Resist*

Book Review

Maya's Review

Resist

Allegra is in New York for a business event and she has a plan to break the one-year dry spell of no man. She's going to find a man and have a one-night stand. Well, that was the plan until Devlin shows up. Devlin is all kind of hot and really the perfect candidate but she had history and a misunderstanding with him from last year, so he is a no-no. But Devlin is not a man who easily gives up and he manages to persuade her to give him a chance. He will fulfil her fantasy for one night.

And boy, did he deliver on the positions. We all need a man like Devlin. Be prepared for some hot love scene. I thought it all ended a little quickly. But hey, I had book 2 ready to read, so I can't complain.

Longing

Well, Allegra thought she'd escaped Devlin after she walked away from him (See Resist). But as I indicated in the last review for book 1, Devlin is not a man who gives up easily. He shows up months later and she now has to work with him and see him every day. For how long can she say no to him. Devlin knows how to be tender and how to be intense. It's impossible not to love him. He wants her and she wants him, if she's honest. With time she changes and her feelings evolve as she lets go of her fears. Do they get to a happy ever after? You're going to have to read it to find out. Be prepared more more hotness.

Excerpt

I expect him to leave, but he continues standing in front of me. That panty-dropping cologne enters my nostrils again and I can't move. “Um, I need to...work...stuff.”

“I don't want to walk away just yet.”

What does he mean by that? My breath catches in my throat. “What are we doing?” I whisper.

He tilts his head. “Whatever you want.” His fingers graze across the edge of my jaw.

Focus, Allegra. “I...uh...” I heave a heavy sigh. “Look—we had a great night together. But that's all it was—it's what we agreed to.” A one-night stand is a one-night stand for a reason. This reason right in front of me.

“I promised you one night of passion. I didn't promise that it would be the last.”

His lips quirk into a smile and he whispers into my ear, “I think that's the definition of want, princess.”

This is bad. He's twisting up my insides in several different ways. It's okay to let go once, but not twice. He's not the one. I can't give in to the temptation again without the threat of opening what I call the vault—my Pandora's Box of heartbreak. I can't think about the fact that I want to run my fingers through his soft brown hair, pulling him down closer to my face as he...

I push him away with one palm flat on his chest. He willingly steps back. “I have to get to work,” I tell him, straightening up.

“Very well. As you were.” He gives me one final glance, and then walks off.

Well, I know now that he's still interested. What I don't know is if I'm the reason he came here. It's only a matter of time before he reveals the truth to me. I just have to hope I can keep it in my pants in the meantime.
